Her victory against Leanne has sent her further through Gronder Field with the new addition of a tome. Magic never had been Lucina’s forte, for she leaned far too heavily on the physical when it came to fighting, but it’s worth a shot.
“An honor to make your acquaintance, even if on the battlefield,” the greeting is called, Exalt’s eyes glittering, “may you prove to be a formidable opponent.”
Lucina attacks Hilda with Seraphim! Roll: 2. Miss!
The tome snaps open in her hand, pages aflutter, but unlike during Leanne’s earlier usage of it, hardly a spark of magic is tugged from its pages. Lucina grimaces.
She’s in for it now.
Her previous battle had been almost too quick; following Kent's departing words, she was hesitant to throw herself in too quickly, lest the watchful gaze of the professors singled her out as high potential. Equally, though, she wasn't keen on the idea of cuts and bruises marring her physique, so the more she was able to avoid that, the better.
Now, she faced off against a Lions student who she had yet to come across at the Academy, but whose vocabulary was far more flowery than her own.
"Um... same!" she said dumbly.
Hilda shot a doubtful look at the fluttering pages of the book in her opponent's hand. Was something going to happen? Well, if not, she'd be taking her shot. Darting closer, she levelled her axe and swung.
[ Hilda counterattacks using Killer Axe. Roll: d20+1 = 13. Hit! -3HP ] [ Lucina HP: 2/5 ]
With one successful attack under her belt and the tome still showing no life, she swung again, harder this time.
[ Hilda attacks Lucina using Killer Axe with Monster Breaker. Roll: d20 = 15. Crit! -6HP ] [ Lucina HP: 0/5 ]
The second hit connected even more heavily than the first. Even Hilda winced at the sound of the impact. But, whilst looking a little worse for wear, the girl stayed on her feet.
[ Miracle activates! Lucina HP: 0.5/5 ]
"Oh... Oops! Sorry!"
